Empower Network<\/a><\/p>\nwas founded,\u00a0 this is cause for GREAT celebration!<\/p>\n
The story of Sacrifice for Freedom of<\/p>\n
the USA & the celebration of Independence<\/p>\n
Day is best summed up in the story of<\/p>\n
the birth of the country\u2019s National Anthem:<\/p>\n
On July 4, 1776, 56 men signed the<\/p>\n
Declaration of Independence and our<\/p>\n
great nation was born. By penning<\/p>\n
their names to this document, they<\/p>\n
knew that their lives and their family\u2019s<\/p>\n
lives would be taken. Flash forward<\/p>\n
nearly 40 years to the War of 1812.<\/p>\n
Aboard the British warship as the<\/p>\n
British were bombing Fort. McHenry,<\/p>\n
when asked by a British General why these<\/p>\n
\u201cAmericans\u201d would be so willing to fight<\/p>\n
and die for this concept they called<\/p>\n
\u201cfreedom,\u201d Frances Scott Key replied,<\/p>\n
\u201cThey would rather die on their feet<\/p>\n
than live on their knees.\u201d \u00a0He then wrote<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Star Spangled Banner.\u201d
\nNo matter where you are in the world,<\/p>\n
today\u2019s message can apply to you.<\/p>\n
You see, freedom is at the very heart<\/p>\n
of everything we do. One might even\u00a0say<\/p>\n
that FREEDOM is the core value<\/p>\n
driving the Empower Network movement.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s our mission\u00a0 to continue to<\/p>\n
increase the freedom we experience<\/p>\n
in life.<\/p>\n
This can come in a variety of forms:<\/p>\n
1. Freedom to earn our livelihoods<\/p>\n
how we WANT instead of working<\/p>\n
somewhere that doesn\u2019t fulfill\u00a0us just<\/p>\n
to get a paycheck.<\/p>\n
2. Freedom to have the time to do<\/p>\n
what\u2019s truly important to us in life, like spending time with our family,<\/p>\n
learning new skills and<\/p>\n
exploring new parts of the world.<\/p>\n
3. Freedom to express ourselves<\/p>\n
and have the chance to ENJOY<\/p>\n
our lives with the little time we have<\/p>\n
while we\u2019re on this planet.<\/p>\n
All of these things are more important<\/p>\n
to us than most care to admit, and so<\/p>\n
often, we sacrifice freedom of time,\u00a0money<\/p>\n
and life\u2026 until \u201cTomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
We rationalize there\u2019s always another<\/p>\n
day in the future somewhere that we\u2019ll<\/p>\n
be able to live how we want to or fulfill<\/p>\n
one of our life long goals.<\/p>\n
I believe that the time is NOW<\/b>.<\/p>\n
I believe that freedom is meant to<\/p>\n
be lived NOW.<\/p>\n
I believe you are meant to be fully\u00a0free NOW.
\nYou see, we celebrate this day in<\/p>\n
the USA because this is the day we<\/p>\n
gained our\u00a0independence as a country.<\/p>\n
But no longer are we fighting for our<\/p>\n
independence as a country\u2026 now the<\/p>\n
quest for freedom has evolved.<\/p>\n
The quest for Freedom is now<\/p>\n
more than ever,<\/p>\n
a personal matter.<\/p>\n
I think this applies to EVERYONE\u00a0in<\/p>\n
the world, no matter where you\u2019re<\/p>\n
reading this.<\/p>\n
Now, the freedom we are fighting for<\/p>\n
exists inside our very own lives. \u00a0It\u2019s<\/p>\n
the freedom to BE who we want to be<\/p>\n
in the world.<\/p>\n
To do what we want to do in the world.<\/p>\n
To have what we want to have in the world.<\/p>\n
And to contribute what we want to contribute in the world.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re at the dawn\u00a0of a whole new era of freedom.<\/p>\n
This is an\u00a0age where ANYTHING<\/b><\/p>\n
is possible.<\/p>\n
An age where the world is 100% globally<\/p>\n
connected through the WWW.<\/p>\n
An age where we can all truly<\/p>\n
create something for our lives that has<\/p>\n
not been possible before.<\/p>\n
If this\u00a0DOES<\/b> get you excited\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2026if you DO share our values for freedom,<\/p>\n
for innovation, for contribution,<\/p>\n
and for living life\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2026then now is cause to celebrate more<\/p>\n
than EVER. Celebrate the freedom you<\/p>\n
have in your life today, no matter what<\/p>\n
form that freedom is.<\/p>\n
What freedom would you like to be<\/p>\n
experiencing just 3 months from now<\/p>\n
as a result of your FULL participation<\/p>\n
as a Empower Network freedom patriot?<\/p>\n
You see, everything we do is guided<\/p>\n
by our core value of seeing freedom<\/p>\n
flourish even MORE in the world.<\/p>\n
We live in an age where humans have<\/p>\n
likely NEVER had as many possibilities<\/p>\n
as we do at our fingertips.
\nNow is not the time to stop\u2026now is the<\/p>\n
time to KEEP GOING<\/b>. Let\u2019s keep exploring<\/p>\n
just how much more freedom we can create.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s share our Movement with MORE<\/p>\n
people in the world.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s challenge ourselves to not put off until<\/p>\n
tomorrow\u2026what we can accomplish TODAY.<\/p>\n
No matter where you are in the world today,<\/p>\n
or what you\u2019re doing\u2026<\/p>\n
I want to\u00a0THANK YOU<\/b> for reading out<\/p>\n
my thoughts about this day and you<\/p>\n
in particular as part of our movement.<\/p>\n
And we CELEBRATE YOU<\/p>\n
for the freedom you represent!
\nHappy 4th of July!!<\/p>\n
